“This is the third time I have used His Workmanship. What made His Workmanship catch my eye is the Christian mission. I’ve had the crew out here to do a fairly large project for a new rosebed and they’ve been very hard workers and made the job a breeze. I would definitely recommend His Workmanship for landscaping projects.” – Mark

They worked hard and met our expectations. We will hire them again in the future
Very nice, respectful and efficient guys!!
Used His Workmanship for the first time to trim a dozen large shrubs that were very overgrown, plus some weeding and leaf pickup. Great communication setting up the appointment. The crew arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and clarified my preferences throughout. Will use them again.
This company makes moving so much less stressful and the cost is extremely reasonable. With their help all the anxiety about the move was basically gone. Also I like the Christian values Everyone I talked to and worked with were full of kindness and patience and hard working.
Great guys, hard working and well worth it!
Hard working guys with great attitudes! I will use them again for future projects!
Great communication; skilled workmanship and reasonable cost.
The landscapers from His Workmanship did an outstanding job with my yard cleanup project. They were on time, friendly, and easy to work with. They worked very hard and completed all of the tasks I requested. They even offered suggestions that were a big improvement. This was my 3rd project with His Workmanship and my experience working with them has been great every time.
Very easy to book, crew arrived on time and finished quickly. Therein is the only niggle - minimum for 2 employees is 3 hrs @$100/hr. I was not able to book for a shorter period, even though I knew the job would not take two workers 3 hours. They finished in 1 hour, but I still paid for 3. Wish I had other tasks for them.
The communication was excellent and the retaining wall looks great!
The Jake did a great job. He was on time, did exactly what I wanted. I’m very happy and I would definitely have him back again.
Very hard workers. I will use them again.
Could not be more pleased with His Workmanship. It was super easy to schedule my project, with great availability. And the work was absolutely top-notch, performed by exceedingly pleasant and professional crew. So glad to have discovered this company.
Nice young men. Worked hard and did a good job with my yard projects.
I have already had positive comments from my neighbors and have given one referral. Brent and his team were very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend them for landscaping. Eric, the owner was also top notch by constantly communicating with us which seems to be a lost art with some contractors. My husband added the fine touches and our back yard us gorgeous!Teresa and Marvin Franklin
Taner and Bryant worked very hard in the 90°F+ temperature. Well done, gentlemen! Thank you very much!
I reached out to His Workmanship on a Wednesday and they got me on the books for Friday in the same week. Sam showed up early, was efficient, respectful and got more accomplished than I expected in the 6 hours that he was scheduled for. Excellent service and communication all around. I'm glad I stumbled across these guys.
Working with Eric and the crew was easy, fast, and enjoyable. The entire process from the initial contact, estimate, scheduling, to completion was quick and hassle free. The work exceeded expectations. The price was beyond fair. I highly recommend His Workmanship!
On time, courteous, and willing to follow our somewhat nebulous plan as we made it up.Would definitely hire again.
I have used this service twice now and been very pleased both times. It's easy to set up, reliable, and responsive. The guys who show up to do the work are the same way. They listen to what you say and do a great, thorough job. They may be a little on the pricey side, but with the market the way it is today, they're worth it!

Frequently Asked Questions

In general, for sod installation labor only, it costs $1.00 to $1.50 per square foot. So, for example, if you need 1,000 square feet installed, then the sod installation cost will range from $1,000 to $1,500. It should be noted that removing and disposing of the old grass, purchasing and delivering new sod, regrading the lawn and installing sprinkler heads are usually considered extras that will add on to the overall price.
When you call a local sod delivery company, you should ask them if they can provide you with freshly cut sod that very day. Some shady sod delivery services try to sell you the old sod that’s been sitting there for 5-7 days. While it’s possible sod that old can survive, if you’re paying top dollar, you’ll want freshly farmed sod that has been cut within 24 hours.
Clear the lawn of all the current grass so it’s just bare dirt. Make sure the dirt slightly slopes away from the building structure. If necessary, add a 1-2 inch layer of new dirt such as pulverized screened topsoil with peat moss mixture. Condition the soil by cultivating and tilling the new soil into your existing grade. Use a metal rake to flatten out and level the soil. A lawn roller or power roller can be used to smooth out, settle, and firm the grade before the sod is installed.
When you lay sod, make sure the rolls are lined up so that there are no gaps in-between. The sod rolls should be flush, meaning they butt right up against each other. You should stagger the rolls of sod in a brickwork pattern. This makes it much harder to see the seams and makes the installation look more professional. If the sod roll happens to be too long, then just use a utility knife to cut off the extra part.
If the sodded area is on a steep hill, you will want to use galvanized landscape staples to secure the sod rolls in the ground. Lay the sod horizontally with the long edge of the sod strip parallel to the slope. These two steps will prevent the sod from detaching from the soil and sliding down the hill, which can happen on a very rainy day.
Yes, you should use a handheld steel tamper or a lawn roller to compact and flatten the rolls of sod with the soil. If you use a sod roller, you should roll it across your lawn in a grid-like pattern. This is best practice because it pushes the grass roots into the dirt on the ground. This serves as an adhesive to help the root come into contact with the soil and remove any air pockets.
You should water the sod within 1 hour of installation and then 1-2 times per day for the first week. Aim for the morning and afternoon if possible. Water until the soil is deeply saturated but not puddling. After 2 weeks of watering, feel free to walk on and enjoy your new lawn. By that time, the roots will be securely established in the dirt.
Some advantages to sodding are: immediate results, fast root establishment, immediate erosion control, and limited weeds. The advantages to seeding are: less expensive, long term quality, and more grass options. If you’re on a tight budget, you can try seed but the better choice is sod. Check out this blog for an in-depth analysis on the subject.
You should try to get a ballpark estimate on the total cost for your sodding project. Be prepared to answer questions about the dimensions of the areas that need sod as well as the condition of the soil. Ask the sod company how long they’ve been doing it and what their process is like. Google their company name to make sure they have good reviews online.

My name is Daniel and this is my first summer helping residential homeowners through His Workmanship. I used to attend the same church as the owner so that is how I learned about this amazing opportunity. To be honest, I really enjoy finding customers through a referral company that so clearly reflects the Christian faith in their business model. The cherry on top is that a $20 discount is offered to everyone who reads a certain passage in the Bible.

Fun facts about Shelbyville

In 1818, the land that would become Shelbyville was ceded to the United States by the Miami tribe in the Treaty of St. Mary’s. Also in 1818, the backwoodsman Jacob Whetzel and a party cut a trail through this “New Purchase” from the Whitewater River at Laurel due west to the White River at Waverly. This trail became known as Whetzel’s Trace and was the first east–west road into the New Purchase of central Indiana. Indiana Grand Racing & Casino opened in 2009. The Grover Museum features a “Streets of Old Shelby” exhibit. Learn more about Shelbyville schools, utilities and parks.
